helper add

Generate a typed helper for a common runtime concern.

vsceasy helper add --kind secrets

Flags

Flag	Type	Notes
`--kind`	`secrets` \| `config` \| `state` \| `notifications` \| `cache` \| `colorize`	Required. Which helper.
`--force`	boolean	Overwrite an existing helper file.

Kinds

Kind	Wraps
`secrets`	`context.secrets` (typed get/set/delete). Wire `initSecrets(context)`.
`config`	`workspace.getConfiguration(...)` with typed keys.
`state`	`globalState` / `workspaceState`. Wire `initState(context)`.
`notifications`	info / warning / error message helpers.
`cache`	in-memory TTL + LRU cache with a `wrap(key, fn)` helper.
`colorize`	`applyTokenColors` / `removeTokenColors` — scoped TextMate colors for your own language.

The config helper exposes its settings prefix as config.section, so callers that need the fully-qualified key (opening the Settings UI at a section, for instance) don’t hardcode the prefix twice.

Examples

vsceasy helper add --kind config
vsceasy helper add --kind secrets
vsceasy helper add --kind cache
vsceasy helper add --kind colorize

import { createCache } from '../helpers/cache';

const cache = createCache<User>({ ttlMs: 60_000, max: 200 });
const u = await cache.wrap('user:' + id, () => orm(User).findById(id));
